The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: The City Council has authority under provisions of the City Charter and applicable state law to institute proceedings in f eminent domain for the acquisition by condemnation of private property for public purposes, including the construction and maintenance of sanitary sewers. The City of Eugene is in the process of constructing sewers in the River Road Area in conformity with the Metropolitan Plan as amended. on November 20, 1989, the Council approved the amendment to the Capital Improvement Projects ~CIP} initiating the three ~ 3 } year program constructing sewers in River Road, The proposed improvements shall be in compliance with, and in furtherance of, the plans and specifications to be prepared by the City Engineer in accordance with provisions of Chapter 7 of the Eugene Code, 1971, and applicable policies of the City of Eugene. The easements and right-of--way to be acquired are located, within design constraints, so as to disrupt each parcel affected in as minimal a manner as possible. 4RaINJ4NCE - 1 The areas to be served by the sanitary sewers have been the object of a development moratorium because of groundwater con tamination. The sanitary sewers for which the easements or right- of-ways are required address the groundwater problems by eliminat- ing private septic systems. The public good from the sanitary sewers far outweighs any injury which a property owner might sustain particularly in light of the City's obligation to provide just compensation to the affected property owners. The costs of delaying the project, the savings from efficient construction .management techniques, and the need to continue to construct sewers to comply with Environmental Protection Agency ~EPA~ Grant conditions and address the groundwater pollution problem requires the City to act promptly to acquire the necessary property interests for this project. Now, therefore THE CITY 4F EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Based upon the above findings, which are incor- porated herein by reference and hereby adopted, the City Council of the City of Eugene does hereby find, declare, and determine it necessary to acquire certain easements or rights-of-way interests in portions of the parcels of real property more particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference in order to construct the sanitary sewer improvements in River Road Basins D, E, and F accordance with the design prepared by the City Engineer and approved by the City Manager. 4RD~NANGE - 2 section 2.

Section 3. The City Council further directs that the City Manager shall obtain for the City immediate possession of real property interests described in Section 1 if negotiations will delay the construction of the described improvements. Section 4. The City Council hereby declares that the improve- menu set forth above are for a public purpose, are necessary for the public welfare, and are authorized under the laws of the State of Oregon and Charter and ordinances of the City of Eugene.
